Sonny Hayes has just won the 24 hour Daytona race and is heading to another race. Ruben Cervantes has a F1 team and needs a driver, recruting Sonny as they drove against each other in the 1990s. Sonny has been out of F1 for 3 decades. The remaining driver Joshua Pearce (JP) is a up and coming driver. Sonny and JP butt heads right away. The team needs at least 1 win to continue as a F1 into the next year. If not, they will be sold and debanded with Ruben losing over 350 million dollars. Can Sonny help the team get 1 win and survive to the next season?



I was able to goto the movie via T-Mobile Tuesday deal of $5 a ticket. I eneded up getting a couple of more codes via eBay for $1.95 each. The total for 4 tickets was $23.84. Popcorn and a drink was $28.74. If we had gotton a regular IMAX ticket, it would have been $24.99 each. It harder to justify going to the theatre. This was the first movie as a family in a couple of years. Recently, I have only gone out to the theatre on the T-Mobile $5 tickets.

How was the movie? It was good. I was entertained the whole time. I am a passing F1 guy and do not generally keep track anymore. I was kinda into F1 during the Michael Schumacher's dominance during the 1990s. But lost interst as it was hard to get F1 news in the US back in the day. Recently, due to many clips online, I have gotten back in. The movie was not hard to understand due to my passing interest. My other family members whom did not know what F1 was, got the movie as well.

The story itself is pretty easy to follow. Win one race. However, the journey to get there via Brad Pitt was pretty fun. Pitt does a good job as the old man.
